A Heavenly Tribute to 2006
The new Air Force 1 borrows elements from the iconic 2006 Nike AF1 "RIB BON" All-Star edition—worn during the NBA All-Star weekend in Houston—which featured embroidered constellations, metallic gold accents, and an astronomical theme. This year's iteration echoes that cosmic vibe with a galaxy-like upper, glittering star motifs, and luxe materials.
Design Details That Shine
Key highlights include:
- Starry Upper:
- Gold Hardware:
- Hidden Symbolism
Even the insole graphics replicate the star-map trend popularized by collaborations like the Dover Street Market AF1.
Why the 2006 AF1 Still Matters
Limited to just 500 pairs, the original All-Star AF1 became a grail due to its exclusivity and thematic brilliance. Resale prices now soar past $5,000, making this new release a more accessible nod to sneaker history.
